Aside from the satisfaction obtained from reading, learning and conversing about sailboats and sailing, when I can't be out on the water, SailNet is a refreshing break from the serious office facade I feel my clients expect when I'm at work.

As outrageous and foolish some personalities can get here, this and the camaraderie that ensues, are just small parts of what makes all this work as a whole.

But I do understand things have gone a bit over the top in some threads, so we should make a concerted effort to remain sensitive to all people who visit.
